Which external hard drive do you recommend?

For example, I use WD, I've never had one fail on me. I've had Seagate fail and Maxtor fail (I hate maxtor).
But Gary loves Maxtor (or used to) and thinks they're a lot more reliable.
Apparently Glyph use seagate drives. But if their warranty is better, then maybe go for it.
Well I am one who had two WD drives bearings fail on them. WD would not replace them, or put my data on another drive. I liked Maxtor when they were alive. I am thinking that I am going to change over to Solid State for my external storage. No mechanical components means no failures from stupid people tricks, like dropping them, getting them wet, and so on.
Why so serious?

Seagate sucks more than WD. WD will fail, but it'll make a louder noise before it does so you can get your data off
